CULTURE AND RELIGION IN MIGRANT ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION: A VALIDATION STUDY

Abstract

Religion emerges as a significant factor influencing entrepreneurial intention and activity, both positively and negatively. Extensive research indicates the profound impact of religion on entrepreneurial decision-making processes, particularly among migrant populations. The religious beliefs and practices of migrants in their new or existing locations play a pivotal role in shaping their entrepreneurial intentions. Understanding the intricate relationship between religion and migrant entrepreneurship is essential for policymakers seeking to formulate tailored policies conducive to supporting migrant entrepreneurs. This paper explores the multifaceted influence of religion on entrepreneurial decision-making, shedding light on its implications for migrant entrepreneurial endeavors and the design of effective policy interventions
